In a cricket match, a batswoman hits a boundary 6 times out of 30 balls she plays. Find the probability that she did not hit a boundary
Solution:
The probability of an event is given as,
P(E) = Number of instances of the event taking place / Total number of instances
Number of balls played = 30
Number of balls for which the batswoman hits boundary = 6
Thus, number of balls for which the batswoman does not hit a boundary = 30 – 6 = 24
Probability of the batswoman not hitting a boundary = Number of balls for which the batswoman does not hit the boundary / Total number of balls played
= 24 / 30 = 4 / 5
